Specifically, Aronofsky's Noah mobilizes the apocalyptic rhetoric of contemporary environmentalism, though the controversy surrounding the film's faithfulness to the bible is no less a part of that same tradition. And it suggests that a more pressing issue, for much of the film's audience, concerns the limits of creativity surrounding the Bible—and who has the right to decide just how "biblical" even the "least biblical, biblical film" should be.

睇完成齣戲, 唯一有少少光明面的, 係有個前神父致力踢爆這些問題, 憑良心, 講需要講的說話, 有勇氣去做自己認為要做的事. 我很欣賞這類人, 我不要做一踢就散的豆腐, 我想成為勇敢的人, 雖然我志向冇佢咁有意義. 其中一句對白: "A good Catholic traditionally is someone who kept their mouth shut, their pocketbook open, paid, prayed and obeyed... for the most part, was ritualized, obedient, and quiet.
